Good value for money; great for policy management
Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises. For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required. I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

Consistently maintains vulnerability-free images and integrates effectively with builds
Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities. I integrated it with Jenkins jobs, so every time we run a build, if there is a high, critical, or medium vulnerability, the build is set to fail. This ensures that somebody resolves the issues before the code progresses. This approach helps keep every image in every project we work on vulnerability-free.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."
"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."
"The UI has a lot of features."
"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."
"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."
"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."
"Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"I definitely recommend Trivy."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"Trivy's ability to scan files, images, GitHub repositories, Infrastructure as Code like Terraform, and Kubernetes is valuable."
"It is open-source."
"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"However, I found that the support in Egypt was not very qualified, and there was a need to upgrade to a higher support layer to solve my issues."
"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."
"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."
"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."
"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."
"The image-scanning features need improvement."
"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."
"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools."
"Trivy is not scalable; however, I have scanned very large projects with it. It is stable but not scalable according to my experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."
"SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."
